Hi everyone! My name is Yatri Patel, I use she/her pronouns, and I am an Information Science and Technology Major with a Management Information Systems Minor! I grew up in Northeast Philadelphia and lived there my entire life! I love Philadelphia and attending Temple University was the best decision I made. The diverse community and incredible staff have made my freshmen year extremely amazing. Also, being a part of the Honors Program is something I am extremely grateful and happy to be in as it has so many benefits and a tight-knit community that is welcoming to everyone. Aside from HATT, I am a member of Temple's Association for Computing Machinery club. In my free time, I love to hang out with my friends, grab food, and binge-watch movie series, especially Harry Potter. I also love to travel with my friends and family! My favorite country I have visited is Switzerland. Being an IST major is very different and something I am still getting used to, but I love this field and the variety of languages and information that I am learning! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about being an IST major, Temple University, the Honors Program, or anything in general!
